Why should I consider booking a motel in Auckland? As mentioned above, motels are a great way to experience a city without having to blow your entire budget on a room. In fact, motels in Auckland average just $135/night. So if price is a major factor for you, it's definitely worth the time to look at motels. Plus, here at Hotels.com, we generally have so many to choose from - like I said above, 83 in Auckland alone - you're able to comparison shop pretty easily to find what works best for you. You might also consider taking a look at our other affordable room options such as our budget-friendly hotel options in the "more categories" section below or seeing what special deals and discounts we have running right now in &city.

Another great thing about motels is that they are generally located right off major freeways so they're easy to get in and out of. This is a huge plus when you're really wanting to experience Auckland and less concerned about your room beyond the basics, like comfort and cleanliness. Speaking of which - those are features we actually monitor based on our guest feedback. For instance, for motels in Auckland, the Colonial Motel was rated the highest for comfort and the Greenlane Motel was rated the highest for cleanliness.

Lastly, we highly recommend you use the reviews provided by our motel guests that have actually stayed in Auckland to determine if the room you're considering is right for you (not only do we use our customer's hotel reviews, we also use Expedia's and TripAdvisor's!).
